Zhou Tao： Start the dream of the space station and continue to write the legend of the arrow.

CCTV News:He is steady, practical and modest, and he is a leading figure in the innovative development of the control system of the Long March II F launch vehicle (CZ-2F for short) of the Launch Vehicle Technology Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. He is honest, smart and capable at heart, and he is a pioneer in the practice of high reliability design of manned space flight. He is the "general manager" of the Long March II F rocket control system — — Zhou Tao.

In 2009, Zhou Tao took part in the research and development of several models such as CZ-7 and CZ-2F. In 2011, he was ordered to complete the launch mission of Tiangong-1 and Shenzhou-8. In 2013, he served as the technical director of the control system and successfully completed the manned launch missions of Shenzhou 9 and Shenzhou 10. At present, Zhou Tao and his research team are working hard on the development of the space station engineering mission.

A pioneer in innovation and tackling key problems

Manned space flight is a project with the largest scale, the most complex system, the highest requirements for quality, reliability and safety, and extremely risky. In the face of unprecedented challenges, Zhou Tao made progress despite difficulties and always charged ahead. He believes that only by constantly persisting in innovation can we effectively promote the development of the space industry.

In the development team of CZ-2F, Zhou Tao, as the "big housekeeper" of the control system, is in charge of the control and utilization of the two systems. From the development and production to the test launch, he can be seen everywhere.

Report review, scheme pre-research, equipment acceptance and debugging, comprehensive test … … The high-density plan made him feel that there is a long way to go, and it is necessary to ensure energy input and efficiency improvement; Troubleshooting, overtime, perfect design, experimental demonstration, high-intensity work made him forget the day and night and rest days, and only when he saw the increase in the completion rate of the plan could he be slightly gratified.

Zhou Tao has always been serious about his work, insisting on meticulous planning and scientific and strict management, and has truly achieved prudence, Excellence and foolproof. He has always been highly responsible for his responsibility. For more than ten years, he has regarded quality as life, ensuring that every line of programs, every instruction and every component has no quality hidden danger, no human error, no state error and no mistakes.

Dedication to oneself is the starting point to realize a leap in life.

The more the aerospace industry pays, the more reliable and practical it will be. Work means taking responsibility, being perfect and leaving no hidden dangers. On the road of growing up, Zhou Tao has always believed that self-sacrifice is the starting point to achieve a leap in life.

In 2013, during the launch of the CZ-2F rocket, Zhou Tao’s wife was pregnant for nine months. Although he was inevitably worried, he resolutely chose to stick to his post in the depths of the desert. The complete success of the mission was the best gift for his wife and newborn behind him. In 2016, the CZ-2F rocket will once again make a solid journey, and it is actually the moment when his second child is less than 100 days old. He made the same choice again.

Perhaps in the face of relatives and friends, he has an indelible apology; However, in the face of work and career, he has full grasp and full confidence! Nearly eight years of model development work has made this young man more calm and capable. From his speech, we feel the carefulness and meticulousness of a system technology director, from his eyes, we feel the firmness and seriousness of an aerospace pioneer, and from his manners, we appreciate the responsibility and purity of a communist party person.

Team building with sincere cooperation

As the technical director of the control system, Zhou Tao is well aware of his responsibilities and the importance of teamwork. He paid special attention to the construction of the model team, fully mobilized the work enthusiasm of each member, and completed the model development and test tasks on time and with good quality under the condition of high-density launch. He is bold, calm and calm, but there is no lack of young people’s initiative, which exerts a subtle influence on people and things around him.

Treating newcomers, Zhou Tao explained the system principle step by step with years of work experience and clear thinking, so that they could better understand the whole system; He advocated "design norms should start with dolls", and encouraged young designers to learn more norms and standards and act according to the rules, so that each team member can grow up quickly and put into practical work more quickly.

Treating teammates, Zhou Tao gave full trust and opportunities to hand over some challenging design work to young people while ensuring stability; He never begrudges the opportunity to help others, and he always patiently answers the questions raised by others from the principle and basic level.

Now, his team has already become a main force with innovative and diligent work style, strict and meticulous work attitude, great ability to tackle key problems and dedication, which is undoubtedly a solid guarantee for success after success.

Dreams become glory, and glory breeds new dreams.

Manned space flight is endless, and the space industry has a long way to go. Dreams have become glory, and glory is gestating new dreams. In the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China’s space industry has begun an important strategic period from a space power to a space power, and the model team is facing great opportunities and challenges. Zhou Tao and his team once again stood at a new starting point. They didn’t stagnate because of the past glory, but took their achievements as the driving force for their next endeavor, inherited the fine tradition of manned space flight, and constantly created brand-new historical glory.

This year, Zhou Tao and his team are doing their best to launch the CZ-2F carrier rockets Tiangong-2 and Shenzhou-11. They will always give priority to ensuring the completion of the test tasks on time, and devote themselves to the follow-up work in a fuller working state to ensure that their work is 100% trustworthy and hard. For their "products", they are full of confidence and look forward to the moment of success together. At the same time, they know more clearly that the road ahead is still long and there are more arduous tasks waiting for them.

The trajectory of life illuminates the space with the arrow of dreams, achieving the tenacity and unyielding life and composing the splendor and magnificence of life. Zhou Tao is based on the great cause of manned space flight by virtue of his love for space flight, persistent pursuit, tenacious will and intelligent mind. During the nearly 10 years of space flight, he has developed the ability to control the overall situation, plan systematically, make decisions and predict, and bear hardships. He explained to us the different life of young talents in space with uncompromising efforts, and let us deeply understand the space feelings of astronauts with his soul-stirring style.
